I hope you all had a nice, relaxing holiday! I’ve been enjoying the past two weeks with family in Pennsylvania and I’m headed back to California today. I will do my best to get back on a regular blogging schedule. At this point I’m around 14 weeks and the nausea is still there but a lot more manageable. I’m still on my medication but hoping to go off of it soon. I tried going without it for a day or two during break but I lost my appetite and started throwing up again so I went back on. I’m really hoping I feel better during the second trimester! *fingers crossed*

In the meantime, I’ve rounded up what I got for Christmas this year! I have the hardest time writing a Christmas list because I feel like I already have everything I need so I usually just end up asking for gift certificates, clothes or camera supplies for blogging!

I’m really excited for this 85mm lens. I haven’t tried it out yet but it should be a great lens for portraits/street photography. I already have a 55mm lens but the 85mm should give a little more blur or bokeh in the background. I also reeallyy needed a new tripod because the one I have is literally taped together and still falling apart. Here’s to better photos in 2017!

I was also really excited when I found these Kelsi Dagger shoes. I’ve had my eye on the Everlane Babo for awhile because it can be worn as a loafer or slip on. And this Kelsi Dagger pair can be worn the same ways but for a fraction of the price!

Now onto Flashback Fashion Friday! Sorry that we took a break without notice the last two weeks. I’ve kind of been out of it with this pregnancy and the holidays. But here’s a look from last year at this time! I can’t believe last year is now 2016! Yikes! I definitely recommend this puffy vest if you are looking for a light vest without a lot of bulk. It’s perfect for California winters and it folds up into a little pouch which makes it great for travel.

Looks like you got some fabulous gifts this year! I’ve been thinking about getting an 85mm lens, though I’d really like to invest in a quality zoom lens. Of course then I’d be too scared to put it on the tripod!http://iamchiconthecheap.com
